Passes for the Commuter Lots jumped from $26 to $41, red tag parking lots (dual purpose) for both commuters and residents increased from $101 to $201 and normal […]

Anti-True Commitment students should correct chalking facts
While we all continue to wonder and worry about the future of the university, a select group of individuals still hold true to the foundational characteristics of this intellectually hallowed ground. I refer to this group as “The Inner Circle” — a cabal made up of students and faculty, pooling ideas and information in order […]
Nimrod offers Day of YA to prospective writers
The Tulsa Public Library will host this free event, offering writing workshops and a diverse panel of speakers. On Feb. 7, Nimrod will offer a young adult fiction day. While Nimrod’s fall convention answered questions on editing, writing techniques and how perspective influences writing, the spring conference narrows its focus to the “young adult” genre […]
Fox News town hall a political game candidates must play
The Democrats who go on these specials risk little when they do, but Fox is the real winner. While it seems strange to consider a Democratic presidential candidate on any tangentially related Fox News program, the recent Fox-hosted town halls featuring prominent Democrats like Bernie Sanders and Pete Buttigeig have incited a surprisingly low level […]
Bloomberg’s plan to fix inequality lacks any concrete policy details
The former NYC mayor’s Greenwood Initiative is not feasible but its goals are admirable. In his recent visit to Tulsa, Oklahoma, presidential candidate Michael Bloomberg announced a new plan to increase the amount of wealth in historically impoverished neighborhoods, focusing on black Americans. While it seems to be a net positive for the nation, Bloomberg’s […]
Stitt wants to raise gambling tax, increase state revenue
The lawsuits over the agreement are unlikely to deter the governor from increasing the tax rate on gambling. While most of us were either really drunk or really asleep on New Year’s Day (I was a member of the latter group), leading members of the Chickasaw, Cherokee and Choctaw nations received a monstrously important transmission […]
Bynum’s defense of “Live PD” filming deserving of criticism
The reality show exploits people’s worst moments and does little to help police accountability. Let’s quickly clear the air: I’ve never seen an episode of “Live PD” and personally see the commoditization of the impoverished individuals that oftentimes make up the “content” for these type of shows as disgusting. I also had no clue that […]
Gerard Clancy and Rattus rattus
Intrepid journalist Anna Johns and Adam Walsh (the other one) uncover the cheesy truth behind the no confidence vote last Thursday. Upon last week’s discovery of Doctor Geronimo Clancy using hangman chalkings to steal his students’ souls, possessed by the Great Old One Azathoth, we, the intrepid duo of Anna Johns and the other one, […]
Football players arrested on drug, firearm charges
Campus Security officers find a firearm, three airsoft guns and 253 grams of marijuana in two freshman’s dorm room. Late at night on Oct. 30 the Tulsa Police Department arrested two University of Tulsa football players in their dorm room for weapons and illegal substance possession at John Mabee Hall. A strong smell of marijuana […]
Tulsa’s push to become the cybersecurity hub of the nation, unlikely to succeed
The logic of the plan is sound, but Tulsa just lacks what bigger cities can bring to the table. Surprise! Clancy wants to make Tulsa a cybersec Mecca! While others might remark on how the TU bachelor programs in cybersecurity were created without faculty senate approval and how that could unintentionally affect accreditation, I am […]
